Yuta Sekino received FY2025 RIKEN Research and Technology Incentive Award (RIKEN OHBU Award 理研桜舞賞)

Yuta Sekino (Postdoctoral Researcher, iTHEMS) has been awarded the FY2025 RIKEN Research and Technology Incentive Award (RIKEN OHBU Award).

The RIKEN Ohbu Award is presented to early-career researchers and staff members at RIKEN who have demonstrated outstanding achievements in research and development, research support, or contributions to the promotion and dissemination of research outcomes, through active research activities.

Sekino was recognized for his proposal entitled “Quantum simulation of spin transport using ultracold atomic gases.” This work presents a novel theoretical framework for simulating and understanding spin transport phenomena in quantum many-body systems using ultracold atom platforms, and is expected to contribute to the advancement of quantum simulation and quantum condensed matter physics.

Congratulations, Yuta!
